You can have many levels of indent which automatically changes the bullet and you can use a different custom bullet for each level. I have indented my bullet list by pressing the Indent icon then right-clicking on the text to add the custom bullet. NOTE: I have added space between my bullet points by pressing Shift + Enter after each point. Select Paste as List Bullet from the pop up menu.
You can use your own graphics to replace the bullets in a section of bulleted text such as the list shown below (Designer Pro X only). If the object you paste into the text is larger the spacing between lines is altered to the height of the embedded object as you can see demonstrated with the larger circle above. It is best to keep the object you are embedding around the same height as the capital letter in the text you are using. To embed an object in text, simply copy the object to the clipboard, insert the Text Tool cursor in the text and Edit > Paste Group Embedded. Objects and original graphics can now be embedded in the text and if embedded in a text area, they flow with the text if the text is edited or the text area is resized. To change the size of the calendar, open Widgets HD and click Settings.
You can set a specific distance for the Push Margins, the distance that is maintained between the pusher and the pushee as it were. You can place the Calendar widget anywhere you want on your desktop by clicking and dragging it. Some previous Text Tool additions include: Spell Checking, bullet lists, indent/outdent, connected flowing text areas, paragraph spacing to name just a few.įigure 05 Push is also an option found in the Position on Page menu and as the name suggests, any object designated to push, pushes other push objects as the object or text area expands.
Over the years that I have been using Xara (beginning with CorelXara), more and more desktop publishing text features have been added giving users the needed tools to create sophisticated print and website documents.
In addition to all the new features found in Xara Web Designer MX Premium ( read my review here), many of which I recap in this review, there are some really exciting new, much requested features that you have been begging for, such as an Eraser Tool, a Shape Builder Tool (think paint brush), and a very, very powerful Color Select/Erase Tool (the answer to the question, “How do I get rid of the white background? but oh such much more than that!) We’ll look at these tools in a few moments but first, let’s look at what else is new. Maybe because X marks the spot? Or there is a lot to get X-cited about? Why X for one and MX for the other? Your guess is as good as mine. Xara has just released the next versions of Designer Pro and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer: Xara Designer Pro X and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer MX the lite version.
